| Right, thought I'd pen all this down before I get back on Saturday (have been here for 4 days already!). Am currently staying in Hostel Korea in Sinsoel-dong, Seoul! The place is good enough for a backpacker, I'd say even better than what you'd get outside, and very much worth you money. Plus the staff here are friendly and helpful and they speak anything from English to Mandarin to Nihon-go! So, be sure to check out this place if you're planning on a budgeted trip to Seoul. Moreover, there's a nearby coffeehouse called Ediya Coffee which serves really good and cheap coffees! Avoid Holly's Coffee if you can, it's tasteless like nothing you've ever tried. Lol. Anyhow, I've noticed that many Chinese people populate the tourist areas of Seoul. In Myeong-dong, at least three quarters of the staff are from China! I suppose it's because China and Korea are in such close proximity, hence the influx of migrants. But the best part is, they know 4 languages! I wouldn't mind working in a beauty shop just so that I can pick up 4 languages in a short span of time. Hurhur. They're also dotted all over Korea, so if ever you find yourself lost in translation when you're using English, try saying something in Chinese and see if anyone understands enough to help you translate! I think this is turning into a Visit Seoul Guide entry, haha! I've come up with a list of places that one must visit when in Korea. Will update again once I'm back with pictures! I shall leave you with this: Sparkling, Korea! | | |
| 2 Sundays ago I went to the COSplay & Manga Games & Comic Convention! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing fellow Singaporeans so enthusiastic about COSplay and all. It's just, isn't there more to comic than manga? Either way, I do look forward to attending next year's Games & Comic convention again!
Mom, who was with us up till the entrance of Hall 402, decided that the sale in the next hall was more her thing.
Right outside the entrance was a mural of graffiti! Charle and Denise, this is what you missed out!
Fjia and Anna found their area of interest....Ran Online by myrosso.com.
But really, the main reason I went to the convention this year was to support Munkao (yes that's his name)! He's a friend of my sister's and is uber talented...his zines are viciously funny. Got to watch what you say in front of him, otherwise it might come out on his next zine..He's on the right. He scares me, so the 3 of us left the booth in a hurry. But he's nice. But still intimidating.
Left: 3rd party...we've split up. Lego Pharaoh and I.
After all the crazy shoving at STGCC, I took Fjia to satisfy her craving for Nutty Buddy! Omona!
Just a quick entry!

| There're way too many things I'm doing now: school 4 days a week, trainings 5 times a week, work 2 nights a week, helping my dad 2 days a week, physiotherapy, and oh, trying to have a decent social life.
Did I mention my bag got stolen last Sunday at Siloso Beach, Sentosa? Yea, the whole bag got taken just like that *snaps fingers*. My cards were found a few days later at Harbourfront Cruise Centre, luckily my IC was returned too. I lost my LG Ice Cream, my Nike wallet, clothes and toiletries. Argh. I still love beach volleyball!
Inter-IVP Beach Volleyball Competition June 6 & 7. What's not to like about the beach? =]
Assignments are swarming me, I can't get my head round to doing anything, and the first deadline's August 4th. There doesn't seem to be any space for me to fit "DO SM ASSIGNMENT" into my schedule book. I am trying to find time, I really am. The worst case scenario is for me to wake up at 7am everyday before hectic activities take over. That's not so bad now, is it?
I need to prioritize...
Get a new phone.
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.....
So shoot me. Hurhur.... I want a Lollipop! But we don't have it in Singapore, not yet at least, I hope.
I have very strong feelings about this issue that's been going on for a while right now, but time isn't ripe, so I shan't be posting anything here now. Still, for those of you who know, I'm tired already.
HUR HUR..
Will post an entry again soon, yaksoku!

| It's been more than a month since the last entry! Can't say I haven't been busy, but blogging isn't exactly second nature to me either teehee!
Update: If you're remotely interested at all, I've added new links to blogs of friends and other sites that I visit, on the right hand side under the columns "friends & other beings" and "i also visit..." respectively. I have also added new items to my wishlist (hint hint!)!!
If you haven't seen me in the last 3 weeks, I have trimmed my hair and permed it, again! Whee! Curls are fun, and since I'm left with my last year in school, I am determined to have fun! That's not to say I ain't gonna give it my all for my studies too.
Sooo, one highlight of my past month was Zi and I clinching first for the Inter-IVP 2-on-2 Beach Volleyball Competition organized by VAS! It was 5 games spread across 2 days, and I really enjoyed myself throughout the whole event because I got to be around friends and teammates, play plenty of volleyball in the sun and sand.
Let's see.... I've also started physiotherapy at the Sports Clinci @ Alex H. That's going pretty ok, although I've just been assigned a new therapist and I can't quite get used to her yet. Anyhow, I'm supposed to be doing the strengthening exercises on my own too, which I have, albeit not as regularly as my therapist would have preferred, but I'm doing it! Ain't easy when most days I've to rush home from my Dad's, strengthen my knees in an hour and then shower and leave for work within the next hour. Life is hectic!
On a less selfish note, the Asian Youth Games (AYG) is starting soon, right here in sunny Singapore! Can't wait for the games to commence, especially beach volleyball because my juniors are participating! Bless them, the exposure and experience they'll get, I really wish I was 17 again! If you are interested to watch the games, they'll be playing at Siloso Beach at Sentosa from July 1st to July 5th. Go go go!
To Yiting and Dorita: Give it your all, and the most important thing is to enjoy the game and play your personal best!!
To Qing Shan and Melvin: Sama sama lar... just enjoy the game! Hurhur.
Remember, beach volleyball isn't just about the techniques, it's also a mind game!!
